Religion – Other Than Islam

LESSON
# 381 FROM HOLY QUR’AN

Religion
– Other Than Islam

Surah
‘Aali ‘Imran (The Family Of ‘Imran, Chapter - 3)

Verse
– 85 of 200, Section –9 (Part – 3)

And whoso
seeketh as religion other than the Surrender (to Allah) it will not be
accepted from him, and he will be a loser in the Hereafter.

It has
been described in this verse that if someone seeks any other religion except Islam,
that will not be accepted by Allah Almighty. He will be punished in this world
for his such attempt as well as he will be a loser in the Hereafter.

It is the
fact that while the religion (Islam) has been revealed in its full form, then
no liar, self-made or incomplete religion can be accepted. If after rising the
sun, someone kindles a lamp or searches the light of the stars, then it would
be stupidity only.

This same
likeness is accurate about the religion. Now the time of any local religion,
creed relating to breed and limited guidance has passed. Above all each person
should get light only from the last and conqueror of the world Messenger-hood
and guidance, because it is the treasury of the entire illuminations, in which
all the previous lights have been inserted.

The aim
from it is to reprimand the children of Israel, “Don’t seek as religion other
than Islam. Moreover, get protection in its embrace. You are bearer of which
religion or you claim about which Scripture as yours, their principles and
formulas are exactly according to Islam and the Islam has a little superiority
upon them”. The appearance of the Jewish and Christianity religions was local. These
religions were sent only for a particular nation and time to be adopted.

Islam is a
conqueror of the world, perfect and collective religion. It comprehends upon
all fields of life. Therefore, if you wish to become faithful to your religion,
then embrace Islam. You will get salvation and respect because of it. If you
will remain standing opposite notwithstanding its comprehension, and seek any
other religion except Islam, then surely it will be false, misled and
self-made. Therefore, it will never be accepted. In addition, those people will
get severe punishment of their infidelity and denial. They will find themselves
between the losers on the Day of Resurrection.

This world
is just like an examination hall and the result of its deeds will be given in
the Hereafter. The person who will sow the seeds of good acts with digging and
labor in this world, he will get pleasure and comfort on the Day of Judgment,
and who remained earning the worldly wealth and property due to his
perverseness and spite, he will get there obdurate loss.

Therefore,
we should not remain imprudent; we should adopt the path of goodness becoming
farsighted. Otherwise, it is much difficult to escape from the loss of Hereafter.
Farsighted is he who tries for his better end, specifically such end which is
of a permanent nature, neither that is temporary nor for the time being.
